Unquestionably a "royal" treatment of the subject, Patrick. The choice of colour and the controlled use of hard and soft detail to keep the figure clearly in focal interest in the midst of the more diffuse background is very sophisticated technique. You've come amazingly far since your unexpected career change. Hope to see more of your work here.
(I have an unaccountable affection for Diana, too, even though my ancestors hail from that renegade isle to the west.)
